I don’t know if this is app misuse so much as just… unusual app use, but it captures images of things in a way unlike they actually are, so I’ll count it. I used my phone’s native panoramic camera to do a few experiments.
Un-bending Bendy Things
For these images I sought out real-world items that were curved and tried to move the camera as I photographed them so that they came out straight in the final image. It only really worked with things that were curved in a horizontal plane, because my app did not allow me to rotate my camera in any other direction. Here are some of my results:

Drawing with Light
I brought a flashlight out to photograph a wall at night, and tried moving it in various ways as I took the panorama.
